An improved rearview mirror structure mainly includes a support bar, a mirror frame and an anchor post. The support bar has a chute formed on a front end and at least one anchor rack on a rear end. The mirror frame has a sliding strut housed in the chute. The anchor rack is coupled on the anchor support and may be anchored thereon by turning a first adjust bolt. The mirror frame is anchored and adjustable upwards and downwards, and to the left and the right to reach a desired elevation. Thus the rearview scope may be expanded without producing any dead angle to achieve driving safety.

The present invention relates to a rearview mirror structure and particularly to a rearview mirror structure that has a mirror frame with adjustable elevations for up and down and left and right to expand the review scope and achieve driving safety.
The commonly used rearview mirrors at present generally are constructed like the one shown in FIG. 1. It mainly has a mirror frame with a mirror pivotally mounted thereon. The mirror frame has a lower end coupled to an anchor post. The anchor post has screw threads to engage with one side of the motorcycle handgrip. Such a construction is not very satisfactory in practice. As the mirror frame can only be moved on the anchor post along an arched track, it cannot be adjusted and moved in the up and down, or left and right directions. The adjustment range is limited. Rearview scope is hindered. There are viewing dead angles and dangers are prone to happen during driving.
In view of the aforesaid disadvantages, the primary object of the invention is to provide an improved rearview mirror structure that is constructed with simple components, is easy to assemble and replace and adaptable to various types of vehicles, can reduce cost and may be adjusted easily to different up and down and left and right elevations to expand the rearview scope and enhance driving safety.
The foregoing, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.

By means of the aforesaid construction, the invention can achieve the following advantages:
1. The invention can easily adjust the mirror frame to a desired elevation up and down and left and right to expand the rearview scope without producing any dead angle. Thus driving safety may improve.
2. The invention consists of simple components, and is convenient to assemble and install. Replacement is easy in the event of damage without the need of replacing the entire set. It is adaptable to various types of vehicles and may save cost.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiment of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
